Let Israel now say—
2 “If it had not been the Lord who was on our side,
When men rose up against us, vv.1-2
Read chapter 124
Can't you just hear the director of music for this psalm right in the beginning! The first line being so true and good he calls for them to say it again, perhaps even louder now: "If it had not been the Lord who was on our side." How true we need that repeated in our lives, a reminder that the Lord is on our side. Often times many think God's against them or at least tolerated by Him or forgotten by Him. We may be able to say God is for us in most things but deep down inside do you truly believe this? Perhaps you don't have some big problem in your life realizing the need for God on your side, but I can tell you inner workings of the heart (bitterness, jealousy, mean spirited, etc) can be just as destructive if not more. I can for sure say that often God has saved me from my own self as much as from Satan.
Do you know and believe that God is for you, fighting on your side not the enemy's? Why might or what areas of your life do you have a hard time believing Christ is for you?
"What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?...For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:31-32,38-39
